About this concert
The Gladstone Hotel Presents: Collective Order Vol. 2 + Rebecca MacIntosh Tuesday, October 17, 2017 Doors 7:00pm Tickets $15 Tix Available NOW! COLLECTIVE ORDER - www.collectiveorderjazz.com Volume Two is the first all-original album by Collective Order. The band initially formed in 2016 to make Volume One, a self-produced recording of jazz standards. Upon releasing the album they realized the potential the project had to be a diving board for collaboration and creativity. For many of the band members, Volume Two was their first opportunity to compose/arrange music for a full-length studio album. Drawing from a roster of nineteen musicians, each track features diverse instrumentation within ensembles that span from a quartet to a thirteen-piece. Volume Two provides the listener with an eclectic musical experience, offering a vast and varied stylistic range. After receiving generous grant funding from the Ontario Arts Council and the Toronto Arts Council, the band was able to extend their time in the studio to two full days, a significant increase from the 6 hours they had to record Volume One. This allowed for the musicians to further refine their compositions during the recording sessions. Volume Two will be released worldwide on Friday, September 29, 2017. The release will be celebrated with a performance at Toronto's Gladstone Hotel on Tuesday, October 17, 2017. REBECCA MACINTOSH - www.rebeccamacintosh.com BC-based abstract painter Rebecca MacIntosh will be making her Toronto debut with this one-night only art exhibit featuring a brand new series of work.

Collective Order Biography
It all started in the kitchen of a house in the heart of Toronto. There was a jam space in the basement and five rooms rented out by a rotating cast of musicians. This was the scene of many late nights spent drinking glasses of red wine talking about how the gig went. Between the players who lived there and the ones who just came to hang, a significant part of the Toronto jazz community had shared moments listening to records, trading thoughts on music, and expressing their goals. One of those goals was to get a group of players together to record an album of standards. The idea was to go into the studio and try to capture the magic that happens when players who have never met get on a stage, choose a standard they all know, and then somehow make it come to life. Last year, they made that record.
After releasing Volume One they had seventeen musicians that were keen to do it again, only this time with original compositions. The ensemble grew with the addition of Jocelyn Barth and Nebyu Yohannes and then, with their crew of nineteen, the planning for Volume Two began. For many of the band members, this album is their debut as composers, arrangers, lyricists, and producers. This newness brought an exciting energy to the project and with the shared experience of making an album together already, they had developed a strong sense of community.
Community is the prevailing theme of their project. Looking ahead, Collective Order plans to continue to be inclusive and reflective of the musical and cultural diversity that Toronto has to offer.
